Happy Friday!!! Was it just me or did this week fly by?? I am so looking forward to this weekend. Our Pure Barre studio is having their grand opening party tonight and the President of Karma Wear will be there. We are having a fashion show…..all I know is I’m getting my hair professionally done beforehand and I am definitely not going to say no to professionals playing with my hair.

We had such a fun time last week who’s ready for another round of Friday Favorites?? Oh and the incredibly sweet Kerry from Till Then, Smile Often made me official by helping me with a grab box. Boom there it is! Grab it and link up! Thanks again girl!

Favorite SongLoving this song. Great Summer tune. I did my research on Mr. Collie Buddz apparently he’s a Reggae singer and worked with Shaggy and Kid Cudi. This is also a great song for my runners and spin gals out there. The tempo changes throughout so it’s a really good sprint interval song. Check it out let me know what you think of it! “Light it Up” by Collie Buddz

Favorite RecipeI cooked this One Pan Mexican Quinoa the other night and it made leftovers for days. It was delicious but I’m not going to lie I added an ample helping of cheese and hot sauce on the top of it (I mean honestly what isn’t good with hot sauce and cheese on top of it?) It kind of reminded me of my taco soup minus the meat. Definitely recommend it. Full recipe here.

Favorite WorkoutThis 10 minute legs and booty Barre workout is killer. The instructor smiles too much throughout but I’ve been told I do that as well and people hate me for it “why are you smiling when my legs are on fire!!!!!” Sorry! You”ll thank me later though I promise!

Non-Favorite Moment.I float to a lot different offices. The office I was at on Wednesday I came back from seeing a patient and on the desk were these.

I was all like

But then I read the card and I realized it wasn’t from Mark.

The worst part is all day everyone kept on walking by and exclaiming “oh are those flowers from Mark???? That is sooooo sweet!”

So what did I do after this you ask? Well what any sane and rational female would do. I took a picture and sent it to him and said “awwww you shouldn’t have but you didn’t and now I get to tell everyone who walks by they aren’t from you”.

Poor guy just minding his business and Hell rained down on him by another man’s flowers. In his defense when he does send flowers they look like this.

However it’s been some time *cough cough* just saying… Don’t get me wrong the chocolate has been duly noted.

Favorite Online PurchaseI had a major necklace haul. Honestly I love all of them. If you are looking for some pretty bibs or long chains definitely check these out! I put them next to some of my BaubleBar purchases and I honestly couldn’t tell them about. I was very impressed with the quality!

LOL You always have the best .gifs!! The whole flower part I was cracking up from the gifs you chose! Sad they weren’t from Mark but still pretty flowers! Still LOVING all the necklaces you got! Hahaha let cool in microwave… yeah right! I’m starving, I’d rather burn every part of my mouth scarfing that down only to complain later! Happy Friday love!!

people use the internet as if it produces hard, scientific facts and it makes me crazy when they say they’ve “researched it extensively”. no, you dumb shit, you GOOGLED it ON THE INTERNET. hey, that means i’m a professional researcher too because i use google all the live long day!!

OMG Gossip Girl gifs and people that don’t know what they’re talking about! I will admit I google everything, so I don’t even attempt the Dr half the time because when I have they’ve told me exactly what I read on the internet!!! Except I had to shell out a co-pay for their advice.

fabulous start to a friday. have a lovely time tonight! that recipe looks yummy, need to try. also, i watched 2 mins of that workout and i know what im doing tonight. aalllssooo those necklaces look so fetch in real (internet) life. love. and all the funnies are the funniest thing i have ever seen. you have such a knack for finding these things ;) have a fantastic weekend my dear :)

I want to try that workout! Poor poor unsuspecting Mark! The first gif with the jerry curl, I die! Seriously I don’t know how you find the perfect gifs I wasted hours looking for 3 then gave up!! Haha!!

One again you have me cracking up at 7:00 AM!!! Dying over people trying to explain things to you in the field that you practice in!! #annoying!!! Can’t wait to see all the photos from tonights Grand Opening!!! Enjoy lovely!

There are so many things I love about this post that all I want to do is reach out and hug my computer screen. Okay, that’s weird. But whatever. It just made me smile! Also–that song is awesome. I’d never heard it/heard of it and I listened to the whole dang thing just now and I’m sold. I don’t think I can listen to music while I run because I’ve verrrrrrry aware of how many minutes a song is and think “oh, god. That was only one song I’m going to die.” So I stick with audiobooks or comedians–but I still like the song :)

The ecards are fantastic. I truly hate calling people on the phone, especially relatives to thank them from gifts. I am going to be 32 years old and I dread calling to thank my aunt and uncle for a birthday card…

Baahahaahah @ the Parks and Rec gifs and the voicemail e-card!That quinoa looks delicious. We’re obsessed with quinoa over here. Running out of it in our place is like most places running out of milk. Shit hits the fan.

Hey, I often have cancer according to the internet when my head hurts… Okay?! Lol umm those necklaces are super cute, I need to buy myself some more accessories, a girl can never have too many! I am going to have to try that recipe, it looks really good!

That LC gif! hahaha so perfect! And wait, who were the flowers from?? I don’t know what it is about paying for shipping but I just refuse to do it! I will spend like 5x as long trying to calculate how I can get the best deal aka getting the amount to EXACTLY $50 or whatever the limit is! It’s so stupid because I feel like all the time I wasted is more valuable than the $6 shipping or whatever it is! haha And I listened to that song while reading this post & quite enjoyed it! Thanks for the recommendation & happy Friday :)

Ha, love that healthcare bit! I work in government and I feel the same way when people talk about it!! I’ve also been on my husband’s case for not getting me flowers lately, his response was “Well if I get you them all of the time, they won’t be as special.” haha! Have a great weekend!!

haha anytime someone starts talking about healthcare I start rolling my eyes at them because they sound so idiotic! Actually my favorite is when a patient yells at me for charging the insurance company more money than we would charge the patient if they were self-pay patientsHope you have a great weekend!

Haha aw poor mark! But that is actually hilarious, poor guy had no idea what was coming. Also, in love with those necklaces! I have a couple from Baublebar and they are my favorite and I pretty much wear them with everything…oops.

I’m making that recipe, good lord it looks so good! And you know I’m always a fan of your funnies. And girl look how successful your link up is! you are on fire! Congrats again!! Oh and I’m copying your necklaces, hope that is A-OK ;)

Ok so I seriously just busted out laughing at the whole person that’s not in healthcare telling you a story about healthcare!! This is so me!! It makes my blood boil like umm first of all youre not even pronouncing that even close to how it’s suppose to be pronounced second of all you sound like a huge idiot but I’m going to try not to come off as a huge biotch correcting you hahaha!! Ps all those funnies are totally me too! You’re not alone!

I have probably spent so much more money than I should have to avoid shipping fees, I just refuse! That’s 90% of the reason I don’t do much online shopping. You guys are lucky though, so many places have free shipping in the US!

Great recipe! I always get made fun of for substituting quinoa for everything so it sounds right up my alley – and lets be real, cheese makes everything at least 50x better.

Oh my gosh. The flower thing made me laugh because I have been there. For an entire day I had to carry around a floral arrangement that I bought as a thank you gift on behalf of an organization. I couldn’t find the professor to gift the arrangement. So there it sat on my desk. I got so many lovely comments…it was awkward. Love your gifs!

OK dumb ? but is One Pan Mexican Quinoa a meal or a dip? Do you eat it plain like that or with something else?… LOL you know I am food-disabled. And and this week esp your gifs are SPOT ON esp the healthcare part.
